    Sending this out to Nathaniel on his 26th birthday. I miss listening to you play this song. I love you Buddy!

    Don’t stop to count the years”

  4. Bob Gibson born this day in 1935.

    "(Hank Aaron told me) 'Don't dig in against Bob Gibson, he'll knock you down. He'd knock down his own grandmother if she dared to challenge him. Don't stare at him, don't smile at him, don't talk to him. He doesn't like it. If you happen to hit a home run, don't run too slow, don't run too fast. If you happen to want to celebrate, get in the tunnel first. And if he hits you, don't charge the mound, because he's a Gold Glove boxer.' I'm like, 'Damn, what about my 17-game hitting streak?' That was the night it ended."

  6. Ted Tocks Covers - Year 8 - Day 27

    Sam Stone

    Remembering John Prine!

    “Sam Stone's welcome home
    Didn't last too long.
    He went to work when he'd spent his last dime
    And Sammy took to stealing
    When he got that empty feeling
    For a hundred dollar habit without overtime.”

  7. October 12, 1967 - Bob Gibson hits a home run and pitched a 10-strikeout complete game (7th game of the 1967 World Series). Gibson is the only pitcher in major league history to record such a game in two separate World Series matchups. BTW, Gibson would again in Game 4 of ‘68.

  8. Ted Tocks Covers - Year 7 - Day 35

    Canadian Railroad Trilogy

    Remembering Gordon Lightfoot with one of his most important songs.

    “Look away said they across this mighty land
    From the eastern shore to the western strand
    Bring in the workers and bring up the rails
    We gotta lay down the tracks and tear up the trails
    Open 'er heart let the life blood flow
    Gotta get on our way 'cause we're movin' too slow”
